Hi Jen
So does he have type 2? Thats what hubby has. It's a catch 22 when it comes to the diet changes, some low fat stuff has heaps of sugar at times. I remember my first shopping trip took longer because I spent more time reading the labels than putting things in the trolley lol.
It will be hard to lose the weight. Rob has put on weight since he has been on some of his ptsd meds because they are a side effect.
Have you got a dog?
You are right it is up to him because you cant control what he choses to put in his mouth (socks are a good idea at times lol)

Hope you are doing well, big hugs!
